Cleanup

This page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB. I removed the following entries for non-notability as a wikipedia entry or for unlikelyhood of "tiger" as a search term for them:

The Tiger, a leading American high school newspaper, based in South Pasadena, California.
City of Tigers, pet name for the city of Oslo
The nickname of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment
Tiger Hutchence, daughter of late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and the late Paula Yates. Adopted by Bob Geldof
Tiger (Maplestory), the number one ranked player in Maplestory Global (has been temporarily banned twice).
Tiger, a Pascal-like programming language introduced by Andrew Appel in his book Modern Compiler Implementation.

Removed for being red-links and having a rather empty "What links here" page, i.e. highly suspected of non-notability:

Tiger (1997 film), a German family comedy movie
Tiger (1979 film), an Indian (Telugu) movie
Tiger (1994 film), a 1994 Canadian short film
Tiger (1997 documentary), a 1997 documentary by the National Wildlife Federation
Puli (film), Tiger in its English dub, a 1985 Indian (Telugu) action movie
Bewafa Qatil, a 1932 Indian silent film
Da xu hai, Tiger in its English dub, a 1973 Chinese-language film
Tiger (musician), a Jamaican dancehall musician
Tiger (An American Tail), a character in the 1986 animated movie An American Tail

Removed as per MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created:

A Tiger for Malgudi is an award wining novel by R.K. Narayan
Tigers' Quest, a 2006 American audio drama.
Tiger Lily Records, a record label
Tiger Style Records, a record label
Tigerbeat6, a record label
Tigersushi Records, a record label

In the cases where my rationale was obviously wrong, please copy the mistakenly removed entry back on the main page. – sgeureka ^t•c 23:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New dab page

I created a new disamiguation page at The Tigers ... it was a Japanese band article, but the number of 'see also's had gotten rather unwieldy. I linked it at the top of this disambiguation page. ~Eliz81 ^(C) 03:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TIGER Federal Grant Program

‘‘Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery’’ or ‘‘TIGER Discretionary Grants,’’ a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The latter appropriated $1.5 billion of discretionary grant funds to be awarded by the Department of Transportation for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure.

Tiger something vs. a (something) tiger

The rules of English syntax make it clear that, for example, chocolate milk is a kind of milk, while milk chocolate is a kind of chocolate. Therefore, we don't need every animal called "a tiger fish" or "tiger flower", but rather only those called, for example "marsupial tiger" or "saber-tooth tiger".

The butterflies are all "foo tiger", not "tiger foo" (I think most folks would be pretty WP:ASTONISHed by where Malay tiger leads). And Arctiidae notes that tiger moths may be referred to simply as "tigers". These entries belong here. Plantdrew (talk) 20:12, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
